Summary on Grant Application Form
The semi-structured information, found in art or document archives, requires flexible ways of being classified and powerful ways of being retrieved based on subject content. Current approaches based on keywords or coding schemes are inadequate. The proposed work addresses this issue by the design and construction of a pilot annotation and cataloguing workbench for art archivists, driven by a structured, dynamic compositional terminological model of subject content managed by a Description Logic. Research is required in the user tools for formulating queries, navigating through the terminology space and browsing instances, and the classification coherency of dynamic evolving instance descriptions.
